I have had 3 different monster clutches, and I dont think they hit that hard....
I thought half the reason why people had problems with their 12 bolts breaking with the tq arm was because of loose mounting bolts holding the tq arm? I have my own fix to that problem... and I have never had one come loose again.

However, the problems I have seen are all pinion related, or posi related. The pinions dont like the fact that theyre being twisted/bound with the strain from the tq arm, bearings seem to go, pinion seals real quick.... dont really hear it happen on a 9" because the torque goes to the housing..... And it has an extra pinion support bearing as well. Alot of stick cars cant get a 12 bolt to hold up, thats fact...

[QUOTE=NJNETSFAN;11805129]I'd say the clutch grabs like a monster 5k rpm street launch on MT ET streets dead hooked. Surprisingly the driveshaft and posi held together, but the axle thought otherwise:
What level is your Monster?

Well I seem to have GREAT luck with them. And no, the loose torque arm bolts usually break the torque arm mounting plate, and yes its an easy fix, tie wires like aircraft use... Drill a small hole, tie wire the bolt, cant move..
However, the problems I have seen are all pinion related, or posi related. The pinions dont like the fact that theyre being twisted/bound with the strain from the tq arm, bearings seem to go, pinion seals real quick.... dont really hear it happen on a 9" because the torque goes to the housing..... And it has an extra pinion support bearing as well. Alot of stick cars cant get a 12 bolt to hold up, thats fact...

U shouldn't be breakin 12 bolts with that power..!!
It seems kinda of odd especially with that power level.. only around 400ish hp.. and 380ish TQ.. I've read about maros having 650ish hp still with the 12bolt in place.. Maybe its moser... Cuz the one I seen was a strange and it still lasting as well took some punishment..

12 bolts dont last behind sticks, I know people with auto's in the 9's no problem and lower. every person who launches hard with a 12 bolt I know, has broken some part of it.... they arent made for torque arms, no are they a good choice for sticks... put that together and it isnt good. FWIW my 9" is silent, had 15 passes yesterday all above 6,000 rpm launches...

Wow. Look at all the carnage! I can't wait to finish off my Gren80 
with style 
I'm rockin a monster III, Tick Master, stock steel shaft, and a 10B
lt. I'm hoping to make a Midwest rear my next addition to the drivetrain. That should hold me for a little while

I'm going to steal this pic if you don't mind... LOL!!!
Our twins are going to surprise a lot of clutch guys out there, lets just say that a 12" twin will be easy to drive and take a tremendous amount of torture. 
Give me a call at the shop and we'll get you squared away.
